Times were tough for her. There wasn't enough money to pay the bills. The electric bill was due in two days. She din't have much, certainly not enough in the checking account to cover it. She had no savings to speak of....but she had Faith that God would provide. Somehow. Some way.

She remembered her change box, a 4"x10"x4" cedar box, which held her loose change. She slowly opened the dusty lid hoping to find something other than coins. Instead she found the box half full, mostly pennies. Oh, there were a few nickels and dimes and quarters in her little treasure chest, but not enough to make even one roll of coins. She held her breath and half~whispered a short prayer...

Hesitantly, she swept her hand through the change in the little cedar box hoping to reveal more shiny silver. She carefully picked through the coins, looking for quarters, the largest and easiest coins to see. There were a few...

"If only I could find enough quarters to make a roll, $10," she thought to herself.

She swept her fingers through the coins once again. And again. There were a couple more quarters. She took them out and placed them on the small pile of others.

Surely, if she'd missed these, there had to be more.

Once again she sifted the coins through her fingers, scooping up handful after handful, meticulously seriously each one.

There were no more quarters.

She paused, closed the lid, and bowed her head. As her hope waned, she teetered on the brink of giving up, but then something happened. A glimmer of hope quickened within her. She remembered that God had always provided before....and certainly this time would be no different. The sacred words that she'd learned as a child came flooding back into her mind..."Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen...if you have faith as a mustard seed...nothing will be impossible for you!"

Her heart swelled with expectation. She quickly counted the quarters in the pile. $2.75. Ok.

Her heart pounded with excitement as she opened the little cedar box once more. She reached inside and swept her fingers through the coins that were left.

And there they were...more quarters...back to back...in twos and threes! She hurriedly picked them out and began placing them in stacks of four.

She swept through coins again as giggles of gratitude bubbled out and tears of joy filled her eyes. Each time she placed her hand in the box she discovered more quarters! They manifested right before her eyes, continuing to appear in groups of two and three.

She repeated the process several more times, placing the coins in stacks of four.
She was overwhelmed. She knew she was witnessing a miracle!

At last there were no more quarters to be found. She counted her stacks. There were twenty eight in all. Not twenty eight quarters. No. Twenty eight stacks of four quarters each! That's one hundred twelve quarters!

She knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God had provided this miracle of manifestation. There is no possible way she could have missed 101 more quarters in that small cedar box!

She now had enough money to pay the electric bill with a few dollars left over.

In the swirling mix of raw emotion, she closed her eyes and whispered, "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
